DALLAS -- Uber wants passengers to show up or pay up and Dallas is one of the cities where they're testing a new fee program.

The on-demand car service app says customers in the test cities will be charged a fee if the driver is still waiting 2 minutes after the arriving at the pickup location. Before, Uber was giving passengers a five minute window.

So if you're 7 minutes late for your Uber, you'll be charged an extra 5 minutes for the ride. Previously, you would have been charged for 2 extra minutes.

Drivers are still required to wait 5 minutes before they can charge customers a no-show fee.
